Australia Reclassifies Deus Ex Hinting At Modified Title Launch



Will Australia's modified Deus Ex be a Wii U title?

A recent Australian reclassification of AAA title Deus Ex: Human Revolution may point to a Wii U port. Or possibly a repackaging, or something else again; but in any case, the MA15+ rated title is going to get a re-release soon. The only question is, what kind of re-release will it be?

It may just be that Australia's about to get a re-issue with all the DLC, including Missing Link, in which Jensen faces off against a new arm of the Belltower threat at Rifleman Bank Station. However, not that long ago Australian Wii U developer Straight Right mentioned that it was working on a port of an unnamed AAA title. All Straight Right's Tom Crago was willing to say NeoGAF slip [http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-09-07-mass-effect-3-wii-u-developer-very-conscious-of-not-wanting-to-mess-up] was later taken to mean that the Straight Right title would be a Square Enix game, and so we come to Deus Ex.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution, for those of you who somehow missed its 2011 launch, is a cyberpunk futurist game in which you play as Adam Jensen, head of security for biotech firm Sarif Industries. Sarif has more than a few enemies, and a first strike on Sarif's headquarters to extract scientist and love interest Megan Reed leaves Jensen near death. Surgical intervention, and biological augmentation, saves Jensen's life, and he goes off on a mission to find those responsible for the attack. Just recently, Square Enix filed a trademark claim for its latest instalment in the Deus Ex storyline, Human Defiance [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/122394-Square-Enix-Files-New-Trademark-for-Deus-Ex].

I didn't ask for snip
Interesting news but before someone throws a hairy fit there looks to be a potential spoiler secreted in the OP that someone who has not yet completed DE:HR wouldn't want to know about. Semantics/choice of wordage more than anything.

Considering you spend a fair whack of the game trying to hunt down Megan's killer only to find out she (and the rest of her team) was taken from Sarif alive, the note of her being 'extracted' in the OP could be a giveaway.

Not that I'm personally bothered but someone else might be.

Not sure if I understand the picture there. From what it looks like MA15+ Deus Ex HR will feature no Themes, Violence, Language, Drug Use, Nudity, or Sex. ...What?

has any banned games or M15+ have been reclassified to a R18+ rating?
I believe mortal combat has been resubmitted, I don't know its status.
